You won’t find out whether you were granted asylum on the day of your USCIS interview

You won’t find out whether you were granted asylum on the day of your USCIS interview. ⚖️ Your decision comes later, either by mail or through an in-person pickup, and delays are more common than many applicants expect. 📬 Behind the scenes, your case goes through multiple layers of review before a final decision is issued. If you’ve been waiting more than a month after your interview, it’s time to follow up with the asylum office. If your case has been pending for years since you applied, you may have additional legal options to force a decision. ⏳ 📄 If you’re approved, you’ll receive an I-94 confirming your asylee status. If you’re not in valid immigration status when your case is not approved, it will be referred to immigration court, where you’ll have another opportunity to present your case before a judge. 💬 If you need help with your asylum case, send us the word CONSULT in a direct message.
